MHA chapter 404: Spoilers!!!

Rest of the chapter below

I made the mistake of watching it on my lunch break at work and I literally had to go to the bathroom to compose myself. It hit me so fuckin hard. This show continues to get better with every episode, and this one turned it up a notch. Where do I even start?

First of all I love that we’re starting to see Steveonnie evolve into her own character, spurred on by the growth of both Steven and Connie. Connie has come so far from the girl trapped in a bubble underwater, afraid that she’ll die without ever making any friends. It goes without saying how badass she’s become, and to think she’s now capable of FLIPPING A KID OVER HER SHOULDER. 

And then there’s Garnet, who continues to be my favorite character. Even though they didn’t speak, we learned so much about Ruby and Sapphire- everything that was established in Key Stone Motel was expanded upon with nothing but gorgeous animation thanks to the guest animator from Studio TRIGGER.

“Here Comes A Thought” is easily my favorite song of the series so far. Not only feature the imensely talented Estelle and AJ Michalka, but it’s message of introspection has already helped me with the depression and anxiety I’ve been dealing with as of late. 

AND STEVEN. Oh my god steven. Boy has he grown from the little boy upset about ice cream sandwhiches at the beginning of the series. I was not expecting him to break down like that. I never thought about the impact that the events of Season 3 would’ve had on him, only because as I keep underestimating how psychologically complex this show is willing to go. Sure this is a kid’s show, but it’s so much more than that.
